Sending and receiving mail using winlink and my ubitx on 20m band. I am connected to a node located in Chile almost 900km away, no internet connection needed!

Tested SDR++ in my Android tablet using airspy HF discovery. Really impressed! It runs very stable and smooth, the pen is useful to fine tune things in the interface.

The expansion board (cw filter, automatic volume control and cw lock detector) is finally mounted in the ubitx. I designed and 3d printed the mount for the cabinet. nitter.gq/lu2hes/status/15766894…
Expansion board for ubitx ready, includes CW filter, PLL to indicate received signal is in band, and automatic volume control (using a LED and a photo resistor in parallel with the volume knob)

I also printed some labels for the front panel but I'm not entirely convinced

Finally I have time to integrate the expansion board into the ubitx, I started adding two switches and a LED to the front panel nitter.gq/lu2hes/status/15766894…

First steps using JS8call on 10m, not a lot of activity but enough to get familiar with the protocol

Next step is the integration into the transceiver, adding some switches to the front panel to enable/disable filter and AVC.

The work to improve ubitx CW capabilities continues, adding a PLL using LM567 to indicate if the received signal is within the filter's passband.

The frequency response is centered around 650Hz with about 250Hz of BW.

Contacts made with new dipole antenna on 15m band using 7W and FT8 over the weekend. Almost 20 different countries!

Very good results despite solar activity was very poor this weekend. This is the dipole center I used: nitter.gq/lu2hes/status/14494560…
Dipole center with balun, 3d model from thingiverse using an FT140-43 ferrite core.
